Native American Tribal Assembly Narrative and Political Debate
Readings from a Boston Times fragment recount a Native American council in Philadelphia appointing a chief amid factional debate. Zachary earns the vote lead while criticisms surface over his past and bondage history. Commentary follows on Gen. Taylor as Native American candidate and party dynamics.
Oppose Martin Van Buren in Democratic split mail
The Cleveland Plain Dealer lays out reasons to oppose Van Buren as an arch apostate from the Democratic faith. It argues his nomination was tactical to defeat Cass and place a Southern slaveholder in power, contending Cass is less Southern and subservient to Southern dictates. The piece cites March 4, 1837, and Cass’s political history to claim Cass sought office for influence and to frighten supporters of Mexican policy. It notes Cass was repeatedly nominated for Michigan Territory governor by four presidents and confirmed by the Senate.
